Hello @Ankle, Beautiful paintings! I was pondering on the idea of getting a painting or decal to decorate my storeroom door. But I can't paint pictures myself, can only buy print or pics or get decals?

Hello! @JOYWALKER I like storage boxes from IKEA too, will buy boxes from there as well. I am still waiting for my ID to handover to me by end Nov, I shall wait till 12.12 to go on shopping spree??

Hello! @JOYWALKER I guess you are a cat lover. You got such a cute kitty peeping at your kitchen entrance and more cats around your home? I too intend to get metal shelves from IKEA . But I have my eyes on another model. I would like to know , did you assemble the shelves yourself, or you get IKEA to assemble?

Hello, everyone! ? Recently, I got my floor grout lines shielded. Yes, I have chosen floor tiles vs the now popular vinyl flooring. I prefer tiles but the main headache is that the grout lines will turn dirty in time and that is very unsightly. The first pic is the condition of my parents' floor tiles. Second pic is my newly grout shielded floor. Many years back, I bought detergent for cleaning grout and spent a whole afternoon cleaning my parents' living room. Cannot finish the room and it was real HARD work. Almost broke my back??. Result was splendid but it got dirty within a year and so effort wasted! I am not going to personally grout clean again, not for my own unit either. Frankly speaking, I got no friends or relatives who has done grout shielding. Don't know how effective. But something very certain if I do not shield the grout lines it will definitely turn like the first pic very soon. So I decided to go ahead with the shielding. Suppose to last 5 to 10 years or beyond if you take care not to clean and scrub your floor with harsh and acidic detergent.

Hello, @BunniBoi You mean you have moved in? Congrats! ? You have a very nice view from your living room window. I am still at the Carpentry stage.

Hi @Humhum Nope, not in the fb group.

Hello @mmoh! How I wish i could post pics but Hiakz.... Don't know when my renovation can resume?? The sliding system is specially for such transformable dining table, so it has proper weight load and overall design to serve its purpose, but kind of pricey, I do hope it is a worthwhile expense.

? I will be having a hidden/pull out dining table in my living room. Another such table in my kitchen for extra worktop when needed.

Hello @Magenta, Your living room would be enviously spacious (for a 2 room) if the bomb shelter do not get in the way in such a manner. Maybe you can consider space-saving transformable furniture at the area between bomb shelter wall and living room wall. Such as hidden/pull out table, bench or bed within built in wall shelves/cabinets.

Hello @Humhum, I am not redoing bathroom and kitchen. But my idea is to make use of the complimentary tiles as much as possible. Using them to tile curbs/bases and concrete corner wall shelves. And then keep the remaining for just in case.

Hello! @Humhum, I do need the complimentary tiles, may have some left after my flooring is done but I can't be sure since my floor tiling is half done and then got to stop work due to the circuit breaker.

Hello! Neighbours! I think there is a "handful" of Eastcreek neighbours here ?

Hi @BunniBoi, Tiles already picked BUT just been notified that no stock. Choose another, again no stock because its from Italy...... Not rushing indeed because staying with parents, not that I need to hand over my current flat to new owner. Whatever pops up due to covid-19, I have to take a deep breath and then move on to deal with the issue, take an alternative route to resolve. Affects everyone... Press on... and wish all will be fine for everyone. Like mmoh mentions 'patiently', Patience and keep one's cool ?

Hello @BunniBoi, still doing paperwork for reno. I have to do flooring first, so other works got to wait. Previously was hoping to finish reno late April, but I don't think so now.

Hi, @BunniBoi, you are making much progress, I bet you will finish reno before me with or without covid-19. Well, i am mentally prepared for delay too although my ID did not mention anything.
